Since I have spent days but still cannot produce a helloworld binary for

test it on my MIPS hardware.
I need to know at this stage whether a FPC produced program compiled for
MIPS (big endian) can actually run on my hardware.
If that result is negative, I shall need a totally different approach.
I've just checked and I have big- and little-endian "Hello, World!"
programs natively-compiled that run on Debian Linux on Qemu. I can send
either or both if it would help, but I'd caution that they date back to
around Xmas last year and something /could/ have changed with the
compiler since.
Big endian (on appropriate system):
$ file test
test: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, MIPS, MIPS-II version 1 (SYSV),
statically linked, stripped
$ ./test
Hello, World!
Little endian (on appropriate system):
$ file test
test: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS, MIPS-II version 1 (SYSV),
statically linked, stripped
$ ./test
Hello, World!
/But/ I've got a vague recollection that somebody else had problems
running on some router or other, which is one of the reasons why I fired
things up at the end of last year and did some careful builds. I can't
remember exactly where that one got to- I suggest that you look back
through the fpc-devel and fpc-pascal archive.
